Bobcat day

I didn't sleep very well last night - the bobcat was due this morning but I wasn't sure what time so I wanted to be up and showered etc by 7.30am just in case. Sure enough - 7.30pm one guy turned up (the digger driver) to make sure it wasn't too wet after the rain yesterday - but it was fine. He said the digger would be an hour. 90 minutes later it arrived on the back of a truck. George and I had taken down the electric fence and I had taped the horses into one side of the track - they were lying down sleeping when I wanted to move them (of course).

So from 9am to 1pm he moved the clay pile (sorry horsies) and spread that in the low lying corner of the paddock, and then the top soil left over from the build.

It's amazing the difference it makes!

Before.

After.

Then we put the fences back up again with the help of the boys and the cows next door.

After some lunch I spread grass seed on the soil and loaded up some horse poos for someone collecting a few bags tomorrow.

I started pulling out some buttercup and sadly the grubber (Fiskars) broke! Bugger!! It was so good too!

Later in the afternoon I had to sort out 10 bales of hay for the lady I sold them too. The neighbours cat was sleeping on the top bale! What is it with us and our neighbours cats!?

Cam came over and invited us to their bonfire tomorrow night. Think we'll pass but sweet of them to invite us.
